Joshua is a sort of transitional book. The transition is from the wilderness to Canaan, and from Moses to Joshua. It is also a book of transition in the sense that, at the end, the leadership moves from Joshua to various judges. For a long period of time, Israel will not have a leader over all of the nation. The judges were often regional. There is also the transition from the faithful worship of YHWH to the failure to worship Him in the Judges.
- Joshua 1:7-9 YHWH promises Joshua that, if he will obey the law, he will be blessed and YHWH will prosper him as the leader of Israel. Cf Genesis 12:1-3
;17:1-8
- Joshua 2:8-11
